Comic Hits and Misses
Here's my weekly rundown of this weeks new comics and my opinions on them. Note: There are spoilers below!
Mystique 12 - Mystique vs Forge! Good use of history by Vaughan. I really liked Raven's spiel about being happy with herself, but being unable to look at herself in the mirror. Maybe we'll see triclops boy in another X-title in the months to come, as he's been shipped off to Xavier's. This issue gets a B
X-StatiX 20 - Some valuable face time for Vivisector this issue. Nothing bad here, but nothing phenomenallly good like usual, so it reads kind of lackluster. Dragotta on guest pencils just couldn't sate my monthly need for Mike Allred. B-
Weapon X 20 - I liked the issue, but mostly because we should get some answers next month. Didn't like a cover with Sauron but an issue without him. I'll go more indepth in my mutanthigh review, coming soon! B-
X-Treme X-Men 44 - I am amazed how much I am enjoying this book that I found it painful to read just a few short months ago. We get some valuable backstory on Sage, but not enough on Bogan. Plus, Rachel's back! One of my favorite characters is back, and I can't wait to see how this arc ends now and how it will morph into Claremont's two new writing duties - Excalibur and Uncanny X-Men! I have a feeling that most of the X-treme team will move over to the Uncanny brand. This comic gets an B+
Ultimate Fantastic Four 4 - Johnny learns to control his powers! Reed and Ben tussle! Sue gets hit on by Mr. Moley Moley Moley! Monster on the streets of NYC! An opening for Namor and various other FF baddies! I love this title! (Sorry, got excited there) A
Cable & Deadpool 1 - The book I've been waiting months for is finally here, and I can't say I am even a little disappointed. Beautiful cover by Liefield, awesome art by Udon, and Fabe has managed to take the best of everything written about Cable and Deadpool since he worked with them and bring them full circle with blood, guts, and some really funny stuff! I quote:
Voice: Have you ever heard of the One World Church?
DP: Nope.
Voice: It's in France.
DP: I'll pass.
Voice: It pays a lot.
DP: Good sir, you can't pay me enough to go to France while our countries are at war!
Voice: Uhm, we're not at war.
DP: We're not?
Voice: No.
DP: Oh. So... how much money? ... Well that sure is a lot...
Buy this book!!! It's awesome A++ I am also going to be the reviewer for Cable & Deadpool so expect a fuller and even more glowing review of this book up here in a few days. Until then that's it for here.
